 Envoyage Group has begun 2026 with new members in the network and a number of entrepreneurial developments among its existing personnel.

David Adams has established Wānatravel as his own independent business, while Michael Cory-Toussaint has joined Envoyage launching his own brand – Toussaint Travel.

Nigel Bennett has launched Horizon Travel and broker Pauline Watson has established her own Travelsmart.

Richard Brewer has launched The Travel Collective and opened new office premises, growing his travel business footprint in Hamilton.

Tanya Chaffey has launched Beyond the Bazaar Travel and Tasi Afitu Hill joins Envoyage with her long-standing travel agency business My Wanderlust.

‘Not only are our long-standing members evolving their businesses, but those we see coming on board are focused on being future-fit and developing themselves and their businesses,’ says Jason Buckley, GM Envoyage NZ.

‘Off the back of our roadshow at the end of last year, it’s been clear our members are driven and eager to grow, and we are excited to be welcoming our newest members to our community of travel entrepreneurs in 2026.’

Nigel Bennett says joining Envoyage has provided him with competitive returns, comprehensive technology and tools, and dedicated support right from the beginning. ‘Knowing that I have the backing of a global partner, Envoyage, really gives me confidence that I will be supported in my journey ahead.’

Envoyage Group recently launched a new brand campaign highlighting its global community as the home of the travel entrepreneur. It talks about its global strength, and freedom for its community to choose their path to success with everything they need to fuel growth from a complete travel ecosystem, wherever advisors and agencies are on their entrepreneurial journey.
